This cache has been placed along the route of the historic and scenic Red Cedar State Trail.

It has been written that when the wealth of the land was lumber, the Red Cedar River was one of the great water highways that carried logs to a growing nation. This 14.5-mile biking and hiking trail follows the banks of the river on an old rail road bed from Menomonie through the historic lumber town of Downsville, to the great Chippewa River Valley where it connects with the Chippewa River State Trail in the Dunnville Wildlife Area. The trail is packed limestone and a series of ten bridges which pass through a panorama of woodlands, prairies and soaring sandstone cliffs. Wildlife abounds, including deer, wild turkey, red fox, an abundance of song birds and the majestic Bald Eagle.

It is expected that all geocachers visiting the area observe all the user rules. These rules include, but are not limited to, bike riders trail fee, dogs allowed on an 8' long, max., leash and access time of 6 am to 11 pm daily.

Cache Logs

November 3 by Da Bloodhound (6169 found) WARNING! Not really just wanted you attention. This cache is scheduled to go into hibernation during the cross country ski season, Dec. 15th through Mar. 15th. So cache away till then. [view this log]

October 17 by ChloeCam (45 found) Took a nice bike ride from Irvington to this site. Nice ride - unfortunately we were shut out. We gave it a good try - looked up and down all around the site. Fortunately it was cold to help keep the muggles from interrupting us. [view this log]

September 20 by papaz bear (381 found) Finally! After 2 times & thanks to Google we found this. Awesome hide. TNLN. TFTC [view this log]

August 26 by gotta run (1572 found) No joy on this one. Believe we've scoured the area pretty good. Either it's really well hidden or it's gone--probably just us! [view this log]

April 15 by Recon.777 (15 found) We looked for this one about 15 minutes, but couldn't find it. Also, a note for anyone coming here, make sure you don't stay in automotive mode in your GPS to the very end because it will take you to someone's driveway, and if you park there, its a looong walk around past where you should have parked, and then doubling back up the path to the GZ.
